Changing a photo on a profile takes time. It may even take longer then 24 hours but it will happen. It just requires a little bit of patience. Talking from a lot of experience here :D
My experience has been it will change quickly on the profile page and the small photo next to the envelope upper right on the log in page. What takes time are the photos on the Lobby page in front of the texts that might be sent and also the photos in the short descriptions that go down the right margin of the Lobby page
Old pictures in the chat is related to browser caching.
You can force-reload your browser while in the chat.
On most browsers the key-shortcut is CTRL+F5
Or you wait for 24h then the cache resets itself automatically.
Even opening the chat in a whole new browser I've never used to goto this website, the old picture is still shown. It takes a very long time, sometimes a whole day, for the picture to update.
The most frustrating part is this didn't used to be an issue. In the past, I've changed my profile picture many times before, and it always updated immediately after setting the new picture, and reloading the chat.
Edit: It updates literally everywhere else on the site, even here. It's just the chat that isn't being updated.
So for a bit of an update, because this may cause some confusion with "other members being able to see your new picture."
Talking to people in the chat, it appears my picture has updated in DMs where it shows character information on the right while in a private conversation with someone.
But my picture has -not- updated for them in any of the channel user lists like the lobby, and federations, where it lists all the currently online members on the right side. This is also where people like me who just updated their profile picture are looking when checking to see if our picture has updated. (Mine still hasn't)
I'm not sure if it's just me, but it seems like the profile pictures in the chat room take forever to update to the current ones we have set for our characters, if at all. I don't seem to be the only one with this issue, and wasn't sure if it was brought up before, so figured I'd bring it up now.

Other members might see your new picture already.
